richardmurray replied to richardmurray's topic in The Black Excellence Showcase
@Stefan I saw an opportunity for a photographer o be showcased and maybe even lead to a little gold, so I shared it in a black community online that should have those interested in participating or at least sharing Whenever I see an opportunity for black artists, i share it somewhere in aalbc. -
MY THOUGHTS 0:10 Jill scott's character in this film is well known, I have only seen two tyler perry films. One is with a black woman who is with a wife beater, and the other is with a black woman who is using a black man's marriage as a cover for her mistresshood to a white man . But it seems he likes to have an abused black woman by a black man. reminds me of "for colored girls" 3:30 I don't think Zenobia shared why the relationship between jill scott's character and said character's husband bother's her so much. It is clearly negative but she wanted to say more i think 4:15 Nike, you found the relationship with the michael j white character side wife funny? 10:00 Zenobia, I don't exist in the circles where tyler perry films ar ebeing talked about alot, thanks for mentioning. 12:05 why have the tyler perry films become more debated now in the espace circles, in either of your opinions? 13:11 why did you show his image, the character that jill scott's character romances with? is he a hero or something?:) 14:49 do both movies explain why the guy who married jill scott 's character marry her in the first place? I don't comprehend based on what you guys said, why he married her, did she have the body of tyra banks or sade or kerry washington when they married? 21:17 red tomato:) rotten tomato:) Nike your hilarious, Zenobia, was the second film spinned off unrealistic? 23:36 Is the formulaic way of Perry why his alex cross failed so much? 28:10 all artist display their rearing or the reaction to their rearing in their work. it is inevitable. 30:32 Tyler Perry like SPike LEe like Robert Townsend, like the Wayans, like others before , all comprehend the industry and all have influenced it, But each have their own perspective based on their tribe in the village so to speak. the problem isn't that the black experience in the usa is complex, all black people or white people know this. but the black experience in media rarely reflects how complex it is. So black people who don't share another's experience call their ersion a falsehood or leser view, when it is merely a view from a different part of the black community. 33:35 yes in europe theater was a place for only male thespians, in japanese kubuki as well, 35:57 tyler perry comprehended that many of the older black thespians have followings in the black community or the white community of a certain age and supporting them provides a certain audience, especially of financially affluent blacks 37:37 great job covering all three films. Enjoy the Winter season! THE NEW COLOR PURPLE Usually when people talk about films they go into a what do they think . I will ask more blunt questions. After viewing the trailer for the new color purple, and after seeing the review of why did i get married from movies that move we... 1) Discarding who produced the film, Would you finance the 2023 color purple film as it is? 2) Discarding who produced the film, would you finance why did I get married/why did i get married 2? Both of my answers to said questions is no. If I owned a studio and I had to give money to make the 2023 color purple or tyler perry's why did i get married produced, I would say no to both. Now comprehend, I gamble the 2023 color purple film will like its predecessor make a ton of money. The original color purple film had a budget of fifteen million and make ninety eight million so black film goers loved the film and I expect them to love the musical with its cast. As for Why did I get married, the first movie i did not find the budget but it made fifty five million. While why did i get married too had a budget of twenty million and made sixty million. Now knowing the financial history, I ask if you owned a movie studio and were needed for the films 1) Discarding the financial profitability of the color purple films plus assuming you knew the profitability, Would you finance the 2023 color purple film as it is? 2) Discarding the financial profitability of the why did i get marrieds plus assuming you knew the profitability, would you finance why did I get married/why did i get married 2? Both of my answers to said questions is no. If I owned a studio and even if I knew these movies will be financially profitable and was needed to get these movies made, I still will not produce them. why this line of thinking? In discussing the preacher's wife I realized something is lacking in discourse in the arts. The owner. Too often people talk about liking a film in the mindset of the customer controls. but the customer doesn't control. The owner controls. No film studio produces all sorts of films, stories. That isn't wrong, that merely shows acceptable bias based on ownership taste. So in the same context, I feel for now the question is not whether I like a film but whether I will put money to a film if I was needed for it to be made. Answering that question reveals the truth about the customer more than the customer question which is foolhardy cause customers have varying tastes and if enough customers like a movie/theater production/book or some art, it will be financially a success, regardless to those that don't like it. MY REASONS... in a nutshell My top five movies answer explains my reasoning well but I will be explicit. The color purple is not the kind of story I want to see based on the time period. The why did I get married's black marital situations I don't want to finance.

@Troy Me neither and if any of said people tried to do something about it, it failed or at least didn't result in a goal of reducing white jewish communal power in the literary industry of the usa. If any of said people didn't try then they are doing one of the problems with many strategems. The people who utter them or preach them or... prosyletize them to others, didn't actually live them or execute them. Unwillingness to lead by example is one of the saddest diseases among humans.

yeah but the question is, if one is upset at the potency of the white jewish community in a particular industry, what to do to diminish said communities power in said industry? Did any of those writers you mention provide or live strategies/solutions?

Top 50 Hidden Gems
The Hidden Gems list excludes Big Five publishers, as well as other publishers of significant size (for example, Norton and Scholastic). For October 2023, we’ve excluded test prep guides (such as those from Kaplan), atlases from Rand McNally, National Geographic, the Bible, and blockbuster cartoon compilations from Andrews McMeel (Calvin & Hobbes). We let you know every month what we’ve excluded, or how we’ve changed list compilation.
In cases where the publisher name matches the author name, the book is listed as self-published. Keep in mind that even if a publisher name is listed, it might be self-published. A good example is Keila Shaheen, who has self-published The Shadow Work Journal, but the 2nd edition was released under the name of her business, Zenfulnote.
Update (11/28): A book published by a Penguin Random House imprint, Roc Lit 101, snuck through. It was removed, making room for the last title on this list (#50).
Update (11/29): Rodale is now owned by Penguin Random House, so two of their titles have been removed and two additional titles added to the end.

The role of black literature in the 21st century
richardmurray replied to aMhayes's topic in Black Literature
@aMhayes I think many black writers have, the problem is getting those black visions of black history into the possession of black youth. I was lucky, my parents made sure I didn't need any white created media. I Didn't and don't need disney/hollywood film studios/tv shows. but most black people growing up have no black artistic cultural base, so it takes college or later for them to actually be exposed to the wide black culture from the british colonies or the usa from them. -

The Preacher's Wife review from Movies that Move we
richardmurray replied to richardmurray's topic in Culture, Race & Economy
@Pioneer1 he was thinking it will be a hit. It makes sense to me. .. the sad thing about the film business is most films earn less than what is made to make them, this is a historical fact. Second, the competition matters in the film buisness. any film that came out during episodes 7/8/9 oepning weeks of star wars got hammered. PReacher's wife came out in 1996. December, who came out around the same time. Jerry maguire came out before. mars attakcs. I can see how preacher's wife was ok but then scream came out five days later. that probably was the killer. Many black people love horror movies. So, the white audience just got finished with jerry maguire which is a romance. And then scream 1 came out and that drained many others. so I Can see how preacher's wife was hurt. And lastly, Movies where the black ticket buyer comes out heavily in my memory: malcolm x which is a biography made triple its money /the lion king of disney / black panther of disney /girl's trip which is a comedy/get out which is a horror film/coming to america which is a comedy. I am probably missing something/posse which made six times its money which is a western/new jack city made five times its money is a street crime film/waiting to exhale which made four times its money is a drama but a collection of stories/... i can't recall a film centered around a black married couple being among the most ticket sold films involving black people. And I think you love the films of the 1970s, forgive me if it wasn't you but another, but in the 1970s, again, none of the films are marital dramas. Coffee/shaft/superfly/three the hard way / and others, none are marital dramas. so the black ticket buyer has yet to be given a black marital drama on its own that they are willing to go to the movies to see. So this film was a gamble based on black movie buyers habits and even with denzel washington + whitney houston it wasn't able to get black ticket buyers. And I will add cause film is a collective art project. Maybe the casting was bad but I don't mean in terms of acting but how fanbases can have expectations on actors. I don't think the whitney houston or denzel washington fanbases like their placement. I wonder if denzel wasn't the hsuband and whitney the wife while courtney b vance was th eangel would this movie gone differently. Denzel at that itme is the black man who gets the girl so to speak and maybe the fact that he wasn't, had an negative effect onhis fanbase. when i saw him on stage side viola davis, even though troy is not the gentlest black man, black women enjoy him as the husband. I heard thigns from the audience. Courtney b vance is in a lovely marriage from my vantage point to angela bassett, he is a nice looking guy right? but, the film legend of denzel is so great that myabe that choice, which i imagine denzel liked, to not get the girl , cost the film. I have said it before baout the WIZ, if diana ross layed the good witch of the north and let stephanie mills be the dorothy on film, i think the wiz becomes a huge hit. I think black women/girls/females would had responded greater to a little black girl in such a big budgeted film, being utterly cute and loveable and pretty and the winner over a black grown women in her 40s pretending to be girlish. casting matters and is usually underrated by many when they assess films, sometimes it can be that simple.
